The father of a Muslim American soldier who was killed fighting in Iraq got a rousing ovation Thursday at the Democratic convention when he invoked his son's memory—and pulled a copy of the Constitution from his pocket for Donald Trump. "I will gladly lend you my copy," said Khizr Khan. "In this document, look for the words liberty and equal protection of law." Trump "consistently smears the character of Muslims," he said, adding that under his proposal to ban Muslim immigrants, his son, Humayun SM Khan, might not have been allowed in the US to fight in the Army. Per the Guardian, Khan suggested that Trump visit Arlington to see the different races and ethnicities represented there. "You have sacrificed nothing," he said of Trump.

I thank this POS parents son for his service and they are a disgrace to his sacrifice. AGAIN you have morons being puppets in this sling fest. Oh by the way? The son killed was killed by "Muslims." Also Islam IS NOT A RACE; it is actually a political doctrine masquerading as a religion.

I would like to ask Khizr Khan "Who killed your son?" The answer is most likely Muslims. Why is it so difficult to under stand that those who are attacking US are Muslims? Not all Muslims are attacking US, but all of those who are attacking US are Muslims.
